People assume that the meaning of a song is vested in the lyrics. To me, that has never been the case. There are very few songs that I can think of where I remember the words.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I don't like to get too specific about lyrics. It places limitations on them, and spoils the listeners' interpretation.
When there are no lyrics, people can picture what they want. It's a reflection of where they are in their lives. Music becomes a mirror.
A song is a lot of things. But, first of all, a song is the voice of its time. Setting words to music gives them weight, makes then somehow easier to say, and it helps them to be remembered.
Lyrics have become so dumbed down nowadays. People don't want to have to think about lyrics anymore, they just want to be told something. Until these great things started happening with us, I'd really given up on reaching people like that.
People used to say poems were different to songs but I don't think they are.
Lyrics can be important, but ultimately, what pulls people in on a song is melody and the tracks and the way music feels.
It's just that a lot of songs that are popular right now, they don't have any meaning.
The lyrics are constructed as empirically as the music. I don't set out to say anything very important.
The actual writing of a song usually comes in the form of a realisation. I can't contrive a song.
Lyrics are always misleading because they make people think that that's what the music is about.
